A NOTE FROM JAN

the smile makes a difference

A useful way to look at portraits, even when the outfit is wrong.

Picture the same ranger twice.

In one portrait, they're grinning openly. In the other, there's just a small smile at one corner of their mouth.

Their bow and cloak haven't changed. You might already prefer one face for the character you have in mind.

That's why I like looking at expressions separately from equipment.

You might spot the expression you want on a character wearing completely the wrong armor. I'd still give that face a second look.

When you browse, cover the outfit for a moment and see which expression you can imagine beside your character's name.

If you already have a picture you love, keep it. Another portrait can catch a different side of the same character.
